Tiffany our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and super helpful. I truly enjoyed the warm pretzels appetizer and my parents loved the chicken soup. I had the truffle Mac and cheese appetizer as my main and it was delicious as hell. My parents enjoyed and shared the poke bowl and cavatappi ala vodka for dinner. All and all a delightful night out for dinner , will come back again.

Great service, excellent fish and chips, and the salad and soup were perfect. A great waitress, Tiffany made everything wonderful, and the cookie dessert was fabulous.

Meh. That's how I would describe this place. I went tonight on a whim because people on here said it was good. We tried it (my partner and me). We entered and it was sort of a Ghost town at 7pm. We ordered the Winter Daiquiri... it was bitter and very tart. Not good at all. We had the Thai Lettuce Wraps, we had to wrap them ourselves. Very little chicken. They were okay. Also had the Boardwalk Fries, they were delicious. For main he got a Poke-bowl. Nothing great about it he said, was very bland and tasteless. I got the Filet mignon with Fingerling Potatoes and carrots. I asked for medium and it came out Rare. The potatoes were tasteless, the carrots same. No seasoning on the steak. Meh. The menu is all over the place and nothing compliments each other item nor the drinks. I think they need a new menu revamp and think what they wanna cook that goes together. The place had odd seating as well the booth we sat in was not accurate height ratio and very tight to sit in. I wouldn't return here unless things were changed completely

Was looking for a diner. Saw that this place had reopened. Never went to it before. Nice decor. Very sleek. Radio music playing. Didn't understand the multi tvs displaying a streaming device loop of programs but nothing playing. I guess maybe they have games on some times? Menu is not expansive. Very limited in options. Buttermilk Fried chicken sandwich was tasty. Liked the slaw they had with it. Housemade chips were good. Friend had a burger said it had good seasoning. Service was friendly and attentive.

Our friends who live above this location invited to dinner here. It just reopened after change in ownership with a new menu. The atmosphere was very nice and the service warm and friendly. We started with a pitcher of sangria that tasted like an autumn day...fresh & crisp. For appetizer we had the wings that came with freshly made real blue cheese...so good! We all enjoyed our entrees (pesto pasta, vodka sauce pasta, burger, fried chicken)...not the actual dish name...and the dishes were nice size servings. Overall it met all my criteria...atmosphere, service, drinks, food, & value. Metered parking but after 6pm it's free. PS next time I'll take pictures, because we will be back.

CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS (or at least it was on 8/27/22 when I stopped here) I wish people would update their Yelp listings when they close.

I've been rooting for the Cap Diner, because Hackensack definitely needs a cool, modern place for good food, drinks and a vibe. They do well on several levels: the place looks great (including big open windows in the front and outdoor dining) the bar is nice (good selection, including some great local beer) and from what I've heard, the food is good. What's missing for me is more vegan options. They used to have a veggie burger, which for some reason was taken off the menu, so now the only vegan options are French fries or a basic salad. Come on guys, it's 2022! At least give us a veggie burger!

So the restaurant looks amazing, food is delicious but the staff is the worst. Place is always empty because the service is horrible. They should remove everyone food and teach them how to greet/approach people with positive energy. They should just remove the waiters and hosts

Trash. My friend said there was a fly in her drink and the manager tried to say they bought a new one. Lie to someone else. The glass and the bug are sitting right here.

This place was a last minute choice with my family. The staff was extremely friendly which was great, but the food and drinks were not so great. This was our first time here and of course our last. Your better off going to Olive Garden.
Cap o Joe never has consistent hours. As a person who tries to support this business multiple days a week since I live near- they make it nearly impossible to love this place. This has been a issue for MONTHs now - online the hours are misleading, in person what hours I am told are misleading. It is super frustrating to be a customer here. Even one time they posted a Instagram photo to come in and have a coffee.. so I went to get a coffee.. and the place was closed!!! Cap o joe you have the best coffee- but do better with planning your baristas.

Came for brunch and got the $25 mimosa pitcher (worth !!) and we ordered the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and the avocado chicken sandwich and the caprese prosciutto sandwich. The avocado chicken was my favorite. The place is really nice inside. Would recommend!

It's a great experience! The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service! I will definitely be coming back!

I love that so many new places are opening walking distance away from my house ! Sunday my friend and myself walked over for brunch. The only negative was that apparently the kitchen closes between 2:30-4 even though we thought we had til 3 to put an order in for brunch . They did have a $25 mimosa pitcher special which enticed us enough to wait for the kitchen to reopen. The manager also comped us a round of drinks while we waited ! The service in general was great. Everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend stopping here for food and a drink . Or two !

Buffalo wings taste just like the ones from chucky cheese, disgusting. The Mac and cheese was very plain, and the crispy shrimp was very nasty. On the bright side the waitress was nice. Whoever is back there in the kitchen needs to be ceased.
